Election brownies

I proudly went to vote today in this historic and cliché-ridden election. After descending to the basement of my friendly neighborhood sunflower-worshipping hippy-church, I filled out dozens and dozens of little bubbles (western states love their ballot propositions).

Even though I didn't have to stand in line, I know that turnout was high: I voted at ~1:30pm and they had already run out of "I voted" stickers! Apparently the poll workers felt so bad about this that one of them ran home and made fresh brownies - small consolation to be sure. By the way, the brownies were still warm but I detected nothing "stronger" than dark chocolate in them.
